A map?

[Omnomnick]

Ok, since we have quite a while to wait until the next installment from Valve, I decided to start a competition. Who can design the best map of the area around City 17?

The map must include:
The coast
The city itself
White Forest
The route to white forest
Nova Prospekt
Black Mesa east
The canals

Ok, you can use pretty much whatever, Photoshop, Fireworks, Paint whatever you want, now get out there and get making those maps...


NOTE: Anyother areas can be made up or you could just develop your own scheme, such as burn marks to cover the map borders

See, there's a map already. It's ingame. It shows bits of the area around the dam as well as the entirety of Highway 17. Just superimpose the textures where it fits and you have the canon map.

There is a canal map (concludes BME too I think) in the room where you wait for the Vortigaunt to attach the hunter chopper gun to the air boat. And there are many coast maps, the first one in the building at the end of the Ravenholm chapter/beginning of Highway 17 chapter. There are some at New Little Odessa and Lighthouse Point too. Nova Prospekt is off the map on that one, not included.

I've only played Episode 2 once but I'm pretty sure there are no maps about the white forest.

Death maps show it as well.

I don't mean like that...


I mean ALL of HL2 so far, don't include the underground bits of episode 1 etc, but just use those maybe to construct your own map, containing all areas of HL2

 

[Druckles]

Um... death maps have the entire area covered by HL2.

I didnt mean like that either...


I just mean like an interesting coloured map showing areas of HL2, maybe with your own little areas thrown it, I was only filling in a gap in the HL schedule....


BTW, is anyone actually doing this...

 

[Blackthorn]

I actually can and do draw maps, so maybe I'll do it when I have some free time.

 

[Omnomnick]

Good man...

Yeah, I would like that too. I snooped around for one a few times. Black Mesa, Black Mesa East, the mining town, should all be included in this "map". If I could get the entire layout, I would print out a huge poster like I did here: http://www.halflife2.net/forums/showthread.php?t=138085

Cool, nice work, I wouldn't mind buying one of those maps, or your already made poster off you. Other copies of course. How much?
